The good news is that unless the plants are completely dead, they can usually be revived. <br /><br />Begin by clipping off dead flowers and browning leaves. See! It looks better already. Now cut back yellowing stems and stems with a good many yellowing leaves to encourage the plant to send out new shoots. If your plant has trailing stems, you may have to detangle the stems first to determine which are worth keeping. <br /><br />If you're like me, you may find it hard to clip off buds that will be opening soon, so use your own judgment to determine if this is necessary. A plant with a lot of damage will have more trouble recovering if it's trying to support buds during the recovery period, and the buds may eventually fall off without opening anyway. If the damage is mild, leave the buds that are on undamaged stems in place. <br /><br /><br /><br />Watering a dried out basket can be difficult. You may find that as you pour water into the basket it simply runs out without wetting the soil. The best way to overcome this is to run a pan of tepid water, and add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid. The dishwashing liquid acts as a wetting agent and allows the water to soak into the soil. Set your plant inside the pan of water and leave it for at least an hour, or until the basket is saturated, and mist the plants a time or two while they soak. If there are heavy chains or ropes attached to your basket, support them with a stick so that they don't lay on top of your plants. When the plants are dry, it doesn't take much weight to break the stems and leaves. <br /><br />At this point we want to do everything we can to help our plants get back on their feet, but it's best to avoid feeding them for about five days. This gives them time to overcome the shock before trying to send out new shoots. <br /><br />Watch your recovering plants closely for signs of insects or disease. In their weakened state, they are more susceptible to pests and fungus, and they should be treated right away if you suspect a problem. Before you know it, your basket will be bursting with blooms again.<br /><br />Terri<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8292135755797054797-1571116782003358687?l=blogonthefarmandgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blog on the farm.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/07661448030217512830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292135755797054797.post-75209838412100208682010-02-18T14:32:00.000-08:002010-02-18T14:32:10.022-08:00Here is a tomatoe quiz, enjoy!!!<a href="http://www.pennystomatoes.com/cgi-bin/multiple_choice/multiple_choice_questions.pl"> Trivia .</a>: "<br />1.

Even though winter<br />may still have a few tricks up its sleeve, vegetable gardeners<br />can begin to prepare for the gardening season and get a head<br />start on spring by starting some crops early indoors.<br /><br />But if seeds are started indoors too soon, the little plants<br />may outgrow their indoor growing space and become too leggy.<br />If they're planted too late, the seedlings will not be large<br />enough for transplanting in the garden when planting time<br />comes round. For the best results and the least amount of<br />frustration, it's important to know the right time to plant<br />seeds.<br /><br />Broccoli and cabbage can be started early indoors or direct<br />seeded. The proper time for planting seeds for broccoli or<br />cabbage indoors would be four to six weeks before<br />transplanting to the garden.<br /><br />The timing for planting cauliflower seeds is similar to the<br />timing for broccoli. Sow the seeds in flats starting in<br />early March. For successive crops, continue sowing seeds<br />through June, and plant out the seedlings 4-5 weeks after<br />sowing the seeds.<br /><br />Cucumbers can be started early indoors or direct seeded in<br />the garden. For an earlier crop, sow cucumber seeds indoors<br />4-5 weeks before they can be planted outdoors.<br /><br />Melon plants grow best in warm weather. Melon seeds can be<br />sown indoors one month before they can be transplanted into<br />the garden. Handle seedlings carefully as they do not like<br />to have their roots disturbed.<br /><br />Onions are often grown from tiny bulbs called sets, but<br />onions can also be grown from seed. Plant onion seeds<br />indoors in flats 6-8 weeks before they seedlings are to be<br />planted out. Or plant onion seeds directly in the garden as<br />soon as the soil can be worked. <br /><br />Peppers grow rather slowly and in most climates the plants<br />should be started indoors. Sow pepper seeds indoors eight<br />weeks before planting out the little seedlings, and do not<br />plant them outdoors until the soil has warmed and summer<br />weather has settled in.<br /><br />Pumpkins and winter squash are vigorous plants that grow well<br />when the seeds are planted directly in the garden. If you<br />have a short growing season, you may start pumpkin winter<br />squash seeds indoors no more than 3-4 weeks before planting<br />out the seedlings.<br /><br />Tomato plants cannot handle cool temperatures or frost, so<br />the seedlings must not be planted outdoors until all danger<br />of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70<br />degrees. Sow tomato seeds indoors 5-6 weeks before the<br />seedlings can be planted out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hope you enjoyed it...<br />Terri<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8292135755797054797-7700489109415054540?l=blogonthefarmandgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blog on the farm.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/07661448030217512830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292135755797054797.post-72785534834126465002010-02-07T21:55:00.000-08:002010-02-07T22:04:23.013-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2-nwrqr5ZI/AAAAAAAAAJU/fgoDN3VINDI/s1600-h/geraniums+ten.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2-nwrqr5ZI/AAAAAAAAAJU/fgoDN3VINDI/s200/geraniums+ten.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435747730056799634" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8292135755797054797-7278553483412646500?l=blogonthefarmandgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blog on the farm.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/07661448030217512830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292135755797054797.post-42275700844583946782010-02-04T08:39:00.001-08:002010-02-04T08:39:33.833-08:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8292135755797054797-4227570084458394678?l=blogonthefarmandgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blog on the farm.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/07661448030217512830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292135755797054797.post-39994618465178486652010-02-04T08:31:00.000-08:002010-02-04T08:36:50.551-08:00<em><strong>This is just the beginnings of my new Greenhouse...</strong></em><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r3RjgM-PI/AAAAAAAAAJM/Bajt_H-co7I/s1600-h/new+hoophouse+three.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r3RjgM-PI/AAAAAAAAAJM/Bajt_H-co7I/s200/new+hoophouse+three.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434427781336070386" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r3FjkfecI/AAAAAAAAAJE/shroFX8937M/s1600-h/new+hoophouse+two.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r3FjkfecI/AAAAAAAAAJE/shroFX8937M/s200/new+hoophouse+two.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434427575195630018" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r27QyPm5I/AAAAAAAAAI8/fIkhA16lc_M/s1600-h/new+hoop+house+in+construction.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r27QyPm5I/AAAAAAAAAI8/fIkhA16lc_M/s200/new+hoop+house+in+construction.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434427398354344850" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r2s4ZzIuI/AAAAAAAAAI0/J3-fiOf-55A/s1600-h/geraniums+ten.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r2s4ZzIuI/AAAAAAAAAI0/J3-fiOf-55A/s200/geraniums+ten.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434427151291196130" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r2hrKpskI/AAAAAAAAAIs/346ksibyOO0/s1600-h/hoop+house+counters+for+trays.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 145px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/S2r2hrKpskI/AAAAAAAAAIs/346ksibyOO0/s200/hoop+house+counters+for+trays.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434426958759440962" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8292135755797054797-3999461846517848665?l=blogonthefarmandgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blog on the farm.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/07661448030217512830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292135755797054797.post-46003076169187514402010-01-31T20:47:00.000-08:002010-01-31T20:48:53.878-08:00Tipsy Pot Materials:<br />-1 pipe or strong wooden dowel long enough to fit through all the pots you want to stack (may have to do a few test assemblies to determine this) plus enough length to firmly hammer the pipe into the ground (about a foot for every 2-3 foot of height above ground).<br /><br />I like to use scrap pieces of 1/2" copper pipe. For what you see here, I used a four feet pipe. The pipe/dowel has to fit through the hole in the bottom of the pots but be strong enough to support all the pots.<br /><br />-any pots or outdoor-friendly containers with holes in the bottom. The hole doesn't have to be in the middle of the container but needs to be wide enough to fit the pipe/dowel through. I used my clay pots but think of the possibilities: old aluminum teapots, coffee pots, kettles, cooking pots....Anything you can drill a hole in if it doesn't have one already.

Went to the "peat" place yesterday..nice stuff. There is a place in the mountains, that use to be a lake and now has dried up, it has wonderful peat.....I am going to use that for the basis of my seed starting mix. Plus, pearlite....</strong></p><p><strong> My Dh has installed the "furnace" and it is working VERY well.... Will start next week, hope it's not too late, but, cannot be helped this year. Everyone says, that even if ones plants are small, here when set out in April or early May, once the heat hits(in the 100's), they will catch up to the rest. We also, sectioned off 2/3 of the greenhouse, so there are nice doors to walk through and walls, instead of plastic....looks better. Now to get to all of the junk beyond the doors..argh....</strong></p><p><strong> Becasue I am selling to the public this year and people have requested certain types of veggies... I think I must have 60 or so kinds of heirloom and non heirloom tomatoes, also the same amount for peppers. I am going to make my Tom/Pepper patch twice as big. We have always had the water in drip under the plastic mulch, but, am going to experiment this year with different things. They seem to do soooo well, for me,so, I am cutting down on everything else. I get $2.25 per pound at the market for them. (of course, with the economy the way it is, we will see.) But, at least with veggies, one can always eat them.....! </strong></p><p><strong> I am going to plant Marigolds in the rows and all around the Garden again this year, did that last year, and what a difference in the bugs, not many...I spray organic and fertilize with the same. </strong></p><p><strong> If your using the same pots this year to plant in, be sure to wash or at least soak them, in a solution of bleach and water(2 T to 1 gal. water)...this kills anything that may be lurking to destroy your seeds or seelings.</strong></p><p><strong> If anyone, has a better solution than this...feel free to email me at my </strong><a href="mailto:email....fiveacrefarmgirl@yahoo.com"><span style="color:#000000;">email....</span></a></p><p><a href="mailto:fiveacrefarmgirl@yahoo.com">fiveacrefarmgirl@yahoo.com</a></p><p><strong>Happy Gardening....</strong></p><p><strong>Terri</strong></p><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8292135755797054797-1678292462795797600?l=blogonthefarmandgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blog on the farm.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/07661448030217512830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292135755797054797.post-10624233742549362782009-02-16T05:44:00.001-08:002009-02-16T06:05:16.023-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/SZlxOLXt1RI/AAAAAAAAABg/dDc14XGHI1U/s1600-h/100_0254.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303394524589839634" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/SZlxOLXt1RI/AAAAAAAAABg/dDc14XGHI1U/s320/100_0254.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/SZlwvMrzozI/AAAAAAAAABY/mGf4P1idXuA/s1600-h/Our+Home+010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303393992366596914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ch9ATKmu7wQ/SZlwvMrzozI/AAAAAAAAABY/mGf4P1idXuA/s320/Our+Home+010.JPG" border="0" /></a><em> Summer, its on its way, on the bottom(last year)..... the picture on the top, is in fall(as well as the bottom of this post)..but, just wanted you to see the "hedge" of Marigolds even in fall.....<br /></em></div><br /><div align="center"><em>This has been fun, I have received several SASE's for the seeds, am sending them out....</em></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><em>I hope all enjoy them, you will have enough for the rest of your gardening days, as you save from year to year.</em></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><em>Marigolds are not fussy about the soil they are in, they likie water though...from my experience, they really dont need much fertilizer, if any, and my tall ones get up to 38 inches tall, with some blossoms as big as 4 inches across.......</em></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><em>they make wonderful "living" fences...I use them for a border around my garden to keep "pets and Grandsweeties", from thinking the garden is to play in.</em></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><em>They are al WONDERFUL bu repellent, planted IN my potatoe patch, they repel all kinds of nasty bugs that love my potatoes.
